Charming antique photo locket dating to circa 1900, crafted in gold-plated metal.
The most distinctive feature of this lovely little piece is its deeply domed glass. Much more pronounced than on many traditional photo lockets, the strongly curved glass creates a beautiful lens-like profile and gives the pendant wonderful depth.
The clear glass can hold a small photograph, miniature portrait, lock of hair or another treasured keepsake, following the tradition of sentimental jewelry popular around the turn of the 20th century.
Its simple gold-plated frame is finished with an attractive antique bail, allowing the piece to be worn from a chain or ribbon.
The locket remains in very good antique condition, with a beautiful overall appearance. The highly domed glass is particularly attractive and gives this small antique pendant much of its character.
